Obama to meet with Putin

It got almost no notice, but at yesterday’s Senate hearing on Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry made a stunning revelation: President Obama
is backtracking on his decision not to meet with President Vladimir Putin during the president’s visit to Russia.

Recall: Obama cancelled his summit with Putin because of Russia’s decision to provide asylum to fugitive NSA leaker Edward Snowden. An incensed
White House said that Obama would neither travel to Moscow for a meeting with Putin, nor would have a bilateral meeting with Putin at the G20 Summit
in St. Petersburg.

On August 7, the New York Times reported:

President Obama on Wednesday canceled next month’s Moscow summit meeting, ending for now his signature effort to transform Russian-American
relations and potentially dooming his aspirations for further nuclear arms cuts before leaving office….

Putin said he may even support any strike on Syria if the US provide him the proof they have on Assad using chemical weapons against his own
people.
Guess we will find out tommorow if that is handed to Putin or not.

In the meantime, Presidents Obama and Hollande are likely to continue lobbying other world leaders at the summit to accept their alleged evidence that
Assad's regime was behind the deadly attack on the eastern Ghouta suburbs, which the White House says killed more than 1,400 people.

G-20 host President Putin, however, is a staunch ally of President Assad's regime, and he'll be wielding his own evidence to convince the other
heads of state in St. Petersburg that the U.S. and French governments are rushing into military action without solid proof of who was behind the
chemical attack.

To accept their 'alleged evidence'
Somehow i don't think Obama is going to persuade Putin with alleged evidence.
I would have thought they had undeniable evidence but that does not seem to be the case.

It can't get more childish that this (if it is true) Putin unfriended Obama on Facebook and apparently Obama was upset about it but enraged when he
learned that Putin remained friends with vice president Biden.
In retaliation, Obama unfollowed Putin on twitter.

Yep those are world leaders, let's hope there is not to much credibility to this story
